Candice Duff

A photo of Candice Duff

Candice Jennifer Duff passed away at the Hospice of Windsor on Thursday March 24, 2016 with her family by her side. In her 39 short years, Candice was able to accomplish many things…she was a loving and devoted mother to her daughter Sasha of Windsor who she raised with confidence and determination to go forward and she was an awesome big sister to Laura & Josh Ellis of Saskatoon and Peter & Ester Duff of Ottawa. She was the first to teach her parents Judy (Webster) Duff of Windsor and Hugh Duff of Chatham about unconditional love and she instilled a great sense of pride in the hearts of her grandparents Agatha Duff (late William) and Betty Webster (Bert) (late Walter). She will be fondly remembered by her companion Norm Gascon and her friend Marg Schram. Candice was an employee of Livingston International Inc. She will be missed by all and respected for her warrior approach to life and her illness. Her family is truly grateful to have had her in their lives. In keeping with Candice’s love for animals, it was her desire that friends wishing to remember her with a memorial donation would consider their local O.S.P.C.A. It was also Candice’s wish that this stage of her life be treated with quiet dignity. Following cremation, a private family service will be held. Blenheim Community Funeral Home entrusted with arrangements.

Condolences

Candace, I miss you so much. I'm thinking about you dearly today, 8 years after your passing. You were an amazing mom to me and it pains me to live this life without you. You gave me strength and always told me to take care of myself. I live each day by thos words ♡ I love and miss you always. Your life is celebrated and never forgotten

Was unpacking some old boxes and found a photo inscribed with a personal message that Candice gave me in 1989. I hit Facebook to send it to her so we could laugh together only to find out she is gone. Candice, I will always remember you as a young teenager, socially awkward but brave enough to make it work, shy but kind, sad on the inside but quick to laugh with friends. I loved you. Thank you for sharing part of your life with me.

I AM MISS THE CANIDICE IS MY

I was 12 yrs old when i met Candice, some of my first experiences babysitting were taking care of Sasha. Candice was always there for me took me on like a member of her family & then when i had my own children took part in their lives as well! From coming to visit and hangout with them the whole time to throwing me an amazing baby shower for my second daughter when noone else wanted to. Her contagious smile & laugh won't soon be forgotten. Amazing mother , friend just an amazing person in general. Rest peacefully my friend until we meet again!

Our condolences to Norm, Sasha, Judy and Hugh, and all of Candice's family as you grieve. We are grateful to have had Candice as our sister-in-law, and aunt. She had the gift of a gentle spirit, and would always take time and show an interest especially with our children - at family gatherings. We will miss her smile. May she now experience 'Peace Beyond all Understanding'.

My Condolence to her family. I met her through Norm. I remember the first time I met her. She was head strong never let anyone tell her what she could not do. She was loving and caring and just amazing. She will be truly missed by everyone. I am truly blessed to be one of the many people to have know her. Thank you

Candice and her family lived in our home town of Wawa for a few years. Candice and Laura went to school with our children and were good friends during that time. We will remember Candice as a kind and gentle spirit. Our family sends our deepest sympathy to Candice's loved ones. May your memories of her help ease your pain and grief. Gone too soon. Fellinger Family

My heart felt sympathies. I went grade school with Candice and finally got back in touch a few years ago via facebook. Such sad news.

We are so heartbroken to hear of the passing of your beautiful daughter and sister and mother to Sasha.-- Candice. Our thoughts, love and prayers are with you.!We will always remember sweet Candice!!

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family Judy. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Candice's smirk and laugh will always be with us. We're so terribly sorry for your loss but are happy for her relief from pain.

I never met you. I do however know your sister Laura. I worked with her in the past. In that time, she spoke of you often. She always looked up to you, even when she was mad at you growing up or frazzled with you as any younger sister can be. I myself am the oldest of 3 siblings, and I gave my brother and sister a hard time quite often. The one thing that NEVER changed was the fact that I admired, respected and loved them both NO MATTER WHAT! Laura I never met your sister, but I'm sure she felt the same about you and Peter! I know she'll always be in your hearts just the way the two of you were always in hers even when you guys were many miles apart from each other. You have my deepest simpathy and sincerest good wishes for the future, stay strong! R.I.P. Candice!

I AM MISS THE CANDICE OXOXOXXOOXOXOOXOOXOXOOOX

My condolences to the family. She was a friend and i was lucky to have many memories of when we where young. Candice may you RIP

Dear Judy & Hugh, There are no words to tell you how saddened I was when I read that Candice has passed away. I remember the day she was baptised - Larry and I surprised you with a visit on that day and you kindly invited us to attend. She was so tiny and beautiful and I see by the picture here that she is still beautiful. Deepest sympathy to you and all who loved her. Cindy
